PolySeSouvient déplore la "faible participation" au Programme d’indemnisation pour les armes à feu de style arme d’assaut, qu’elle explique par un "manque de leadership politique", notamment en lien avec la communication insuffisante qui n’a pas permis de contrer la "désinformation généralisée diffusée par le lobby des armes" et les "manigances juridiques et politiques de certaines provinces." lactualite.com/actualites/pro…

Gun control group PolySeSouvient blames “weak political leadership” for what it calls “poor participation” in the federal compensation program for banned firearms. Says weak messaging about the program has failed to counter misinformation and disingenuous provincial manoeuvring ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…

@Polysesouvient @liberal_party

Le refus de participer au programme de rachat n'exempte pas les propriétaires d'armes d'assaut prohibées de la loi. La seule conséquence sera que ces derniers ne seront pas compensés financièrement pour les armes dont la possession sera illégale au delà du 30 octobre ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/22409…

Gun owners have reported more than 51,000 firearms to the federal government with one week left to go in a program to provide compensation for banned guns, Public Safety Minister Anandasangaree @gary_srp said Monday halifax.citynews.ca/2026/03/23/fed…

Supreme Court of Canada agrees to hear challenge of a @liberal_party gvt ban on firearms models & variants it considers fit for the battlefield, not for hunting and sport shooting. The April 2025 unanimous three-judge panel of Court of Appeal concluded: "Surely, the inherent danger that some firearms pose to public safety because of their lethality and their ability to injure or kill a large number of people in a short period of time, the fact that they have been used in mass shootings in Canada and abroad, the fact that they are disproportionate for civilian use, and the increasing demand for measures to address gun violence are all valid considerations in determining whether their use is reasonable for hunting and sporting purposes”. ctvnews.ca/politics/artic…

After two months of the Assault-Style Firearms Compensation Program for individuals, more than 47,000 prohibited firearms have been declared across Canada. Deadline to submit your declaration is March 31. See the provincial and territorial breakdown here: canada.ca/en/public-safe…

Potential simultaneous school shootings in Rivers (Manitoba) and Briedgewater (NS): Two firearms owned by a family member in Rivers were seized, said @ManitobaRCMP globalnews.ca/video/11737242…

N.S. youth charged with conspiracy to commit murder & uttering death threats and Manitoba youth charged with uttering threats, after Bridgewater Police Service @policenews was alerted by @INTERPOL_HQ & @FBI they had been talking online about mounting a "violent attack" at their schools (Park View Education Centre and Rivers Collegiate) citing handwritten plans and imitation weapons including an assault rifle. cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

Update on Maya Gebala (Tumbler Ridge) Our sweet little girl finally got to enjoy the outdoors again today. We were able to bring her up to the patio for some fresh air. It was only about 20 minutes, but the sun was shining and it was such a beautiful moment seeing her out there ❤️

Examples of #BillC21 working to counter illegal guns - in this case the 3D printing of firearms. The charge "possession of computer data pertaining to a firearm" is only possible because of #C21. The bill created a specific, targeted offence for the digital blueprints themselves, closing a legal loophole and giving police a direct tool to address the possession of gun-making files before a single part is even printed. Note that the #GunLobby fiercely opposed this bill.

The medical evidence suggests that if you keep a gun in the home for self-defence, you're more likely to shoot yourself in the foot or the head (ie. accident or suicide). Sure would be nice if proposed legislation actually followed science.

A seriously flawed proposal overall and if this is a suggestion that Canadian homes should be armed and dangerous then contrary to the science.

Personal protection is a frequently cited reason for firearm ownership. However, access to firearms in the home has been associated with an increased risk of death from suicide and homicide among household members. Conservatives promoting a dangerous myth. Just sayin'

Is this the 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝘆𝗲𝗿 who argued on NFA's behalf that the Quebec long-gun registry encroaches on federal jurisdiction ... 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁, this after the NFA - as part of the "Coalition of Responsible Firearms Owners and Sportsmen" - argued that the former federal long-gun registry encroached on provincial jurisdiction (and lost)?

[EDITORIAL @globeandmail]: "Something went horribly wrong before that terrible day in Tumbler Ridge. Eight people were killed and dozens more lives were changed forever. Those families, and the rest of Canadians, deserve clarity on the events in Tumbler Ridge, as a first step to heading off another tragedy in the future." theglobeandmail.com/opinion/editor…
